Movie Reviews of Cromwell
Movie Review: Do not glorify the Butcher of Ireland
Summary: 1 Stars
Anyone who knows the history of the British Isles knows that Cromwell's attitude toward and treatment of the Irish mean that he belongs right with Adolph Hitler. The misguided attempt to glorify this miserable, murdering wretch isn't criminal but ought to be. No, I don't blame the actor (who apparently thought there would be more accuracy in the portrayal of the protagonist but no doubt was powerless to keep those scenes in - so he was misled and played the fool); I blame those who wrote and produced this atrocity.
History shows many appalling instances of unwarranted genocide, many related to tyrants' desires to force religious choices, but Oliver Cromwell and Adolph Hitler lead the pack. To portray this monster in any other way is total dishonesty and clearly revisionist history.
